Week 5

Sumo

The Mini_Sumo program is a very simple driving strategy for a Sumo robot. It simply makes the robot go straight forward until the light sensor sees something dark on the surface (might be the ring border), then it backs up a little, turns right to head back into the ring, then repeats (going straight and looking for the ring border again). This will make the robot wander blindly around the ring, pushing whatever is in front of it, and hopefully whatever it finds will get pushed outside before the robot accidentally drives outside the ring on its own.
